Our Universe may support life for at least a trillion years. If so, our existence a mere 14 billion years after its creation is so improbable that we may well be the first

I do think this idea answers the Fermi paradox. We are here early in the universe’s life. Especially considering it was mostly just hydrogen and helium for the first few billion years.

Your comment is burried below dozens more optimistic views that life "should" exist and evolve intelligence, but I like your take. We are so wildly improbable that most of us can't even fathom it. That our minds exist at all is so impossibly unlikely that by all accounts we should not exist.

For most I think that we are hear seems to indicate some inevitably but I like that we are an anomaly, we shouldn't exist, the we die.
